## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI-agent companies > - Operators need to identify the exact source build running from the persistent account menu > - PR #9508 added linked source SHA metadata when the server can inspect its Git checkout > - Production images and packaged deployments may not include a `.git` directory even though their build commit is known > - Falling back to the package version in those environments makes the UI look like a formal release and hides the source SHA > - This pull request reads a validated deployment commit marker when Git metadata is unavailable and uses it consistently for server version and server-info responses > - The benefit is that unreleased deployments keep showing an inspectable SHA without changing exact-tag release versions ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Follow-up to #9508. ### Pre-submission checklist - [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and found no duplicate for the no-`.git` deployment fallback. - [x] The behavior reproduces when the server runs without Git metadata but has a known build commit. - [x] The behavior originates in Paperclip's core server build metadata handling, not an adapter, provider, or local configuration. ### What happened? PR #9508 displays source branch and SHA metadata for unreleased builds, but server version and server-info resolution still fall back to the package version when the runtime has no `.git` directory. This is common in production images and packaged deployments. ### Expected behavior When a validated deployment commit is available through `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` or `/app/.paperclip-build-commit`, the server should retain a derived source version and expose SHA metadata even if Git commands are unavailable. Exact release tags should continue using the formal package version. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Build or run Paperclip without a `.git` directory. 2. Provide a full commit SHA through `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` or `/app/.paperclip-build-commit`. 3. Start the server and inspect the version and server-info output. 4. Observe that current `master` returns only the package version and reports Git metadata unavailable. ### Paperclip version or commit Current `master` after #9508. ### Deployment mode Packaged or containerized deployments without runtime Git metadata. ### Installation method Built from source or deployment image. ## What Changed - Add validated build-commit parsing from `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` and `/app/.paperclip-build-commit`. - Preserve source-derived server versions when Git commands are unavailable. - Expose fallback SHA metadata through server-info with an explicit unavailable local-status state. - Keep exact release-tag builds on the formal package version. - Add focused regression tests for parsing, version resolution, and server-info fallback behavior. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/build-commit.test.ts src/__tests__/server-info.test.ts src/__tests__/version.test.ts` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` - `git diff --check public/master...HEAD` ## Risks - Low risk: only full 40-character hexadecimal commit values are accepted; malformed or truncated markers preserve the existing fallback behavior. - Deployment tooling must set `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` or write `/app/.paperclip-build-commit` for the fallback to activate. - Fallback server-info cannot provide branch, subject, commit time, or working-tree status without Git metadata, so those fields remain explicitly unavailable. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.

See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex using GPT-5.4 with medium reasoning, repository/tool access, shell execution, and code editing; context-window size was not exposed by the runtime. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates pass - [x] Greptile review is 5/5 with no open P2-or-higher comments, recommendations, or follow-ups --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
